...

well, we leave tomorrow morning at 6 am, wow. and yet i want to go out for a bit tonight...i'm nuts!
tomorrow we will be at palenque, our 2nd maya site, so much learning to be had!
i probably wont wirte anything till we get back, not that ive written much lately
we ended up going to the beach two weeks ago, which was really great, except when i lost my new glasses in the dirty, sandy pacific ocean. that kinda ruined my day, but i forced myself to get over it in a few hours...lucky i had my contacts with me and another pair of glasses at home in San Cris. The beach was good otherwise, we went out saturday night to the "disco" which had a horrible sound system, but was a good random time. Then we ended up riding up and down the main street in the back of a pickup truck listening to 50 cent and blink 182, and we had a beach party, complete with fire and chelas (beers), but turns out that palm leaves arent very good firewood.
ok time to go finish packing!
ciao

too much time has passed

well, we leave for our big 2 week trip on wednesday
then when we gwet back sarah is coming to visit and we're going to Guatemala to see the semana santa festivities in Santiago Atitlan, which is gonna be really amazing and I cannot wait.
life here is pretty sweet, I love every minute of it.
I'd really like to succcessfully make a useful post on here before I leave on Wednesday.

It's really weird to think of home in Canada right now.
It's been 2.5 months since I left Vancouver, and the year and a half that I spent living there is a blur in my memory because it all moved so quickly.
Toronto stands out in my mind more poignantly since that's where I was before here, and that's where my mom has been.
However, as of yesterday my mom has moved back to Vancouver Island, which is kinda surreal, not sure why.
Maria Luisa arrived here on Tuesday from Vancouver, and last Friday night she and my sister met up so that Maria could bring my camera cable. It was really weird for me to think of them seeing each other, so far away from here.
I find that I often get caught up in the everyday, and while I have been homesick once or twice, it really hasn't affected me all that much.
I love San Cristobal so much, that one night I spent in Comitan I was homesick for San Cristobal.
We might go to the beach today, or I might stay here and move into my new house, at this point I'm unsure. Obviously I still am no good at making decisions.
